Why does Buencafé make the best coffee in Colombia?

You’ve probably heard that the best coffee in the world is Colombian, but… which is the best coffee in Colombia? Let us tell you why Buencafé offers the best coffee in the country.

There are many key factors to achieving the highest quality in coffee. These factors are present throughout the entire production chain, from planting and cultivation to preparation at home. Colombia produces the best mild coffee in the world, for several reasons, including:

1. The volcanic characteristics of its soil, which is rich in minerals and nutrients, with an ideal pH level for planting.
2. The purity of its water, which affects the coffee from the irrigation of the plant to the preparation of the beverage.
3. Its geography, which facilitates cultivation in diverse climatic and altitude conditions, allowing for the perfect formula for each coffee variety to be found.

However, this doesn’t fully explain why Colombian coffee is so good, and even less so why Buencafé’s coffee is the best in Colombia. We’ve discovered that the true secret of a great coffee lies in its selection and harvest. This is the reason our coffee stands out for its quality. Colombian coffee growers have perfected, through centuries of heritage and wisdom, the art of manually picking only the healthiest and ripest beans. This ensures an optimal flavor profile and prevents the presence of unwanted elements such as stones, screws, or other beans that could spoil the taste. Additionally, this method helps preserve the plants for future harvests.

Those same expert hands are the ones that pulp and dry the beans, delivering green coffee beans of the highest quality to the National Federation of Coffee Growers, for further processing at Buencafé’s factory in Chinchiná, Caldas. The confidence we have in the most experienced hands during the cultivation and harvest stages allows us to move forward with complete peace of mind in the subsequent stages of the process, which are carried out using cutting-edge methods and technology, the result of constant research aimed at continuous product improvement.

Perhaps the most important process of all is freeze-drying, which is nothing more than dehydration at extremely low temperatures. This process is highly efficient for producing soluble coffee, as it preserves the organoleptic properties such as the aroma and flavor, typical of such a special bean.

The combination of all these factors results in a smooth, honeyed cup profile, typical of our Colombian coffee, and of our Buencafé, the best mild coffee in Colombia and the world. A result that is only possible thanks to the hard work and knowledge passed down by those who know coffee best throughout our territory: the coffee growers.
